The Denver Broncos are leaning toward placing DT Kevin Vickerson (hip) on the season-ending Injured Reserve in order to add another defensive tackle to the active roster. Vickerson has been an early-down player in the team's base defense as well as nickel packages. DTs Mitch Unrein and Sylvester Williams split time filling in for Vickerson in Week 12. Williams hasn't materialized as a key player up front this season, and he's been inactive three times this year and twice in the past four games.

Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Wyoming DE Mitch Unrein measured in at his Pro Day with a height of 6-foot-3 5/8, 276 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.89 and 4.90 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.60 seconds, and the three-cone drill in 7.41 seconds. He measured a 31-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot-9 broad jump and completed 26 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press. Unrein also looked good during position drills.
